This means that movies like Napoleon, or Ghandi, or what have you all need to be taken with a grain of salt. Real life is seldom as exciting as fiction. Napoleon from director Ridley Scott conforms to this rule; it is not purely meant to entertain. It is meant to educate, and to show you something that hopefully you will internalize.
